Question 1 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client with asthma. The client asks the nurse what structures make up the upper respiratory tract. Which response by the nurse is the most appropriate?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: The nose, nasal cavity, pharynx, and paranasal sinuses. The upper respiratory tract includes the structures where air enters the body before reaching the lungs. The nose filters, warms, and humidifies the air, the nasal cavity further filters the air and contains the olfactory receptors, the pharynx connects the nasal cavity to the larynx and esophagus, and the paranasal sinuses are air-filled spaces that help with voice resonance and reduce the weight of the skull.
Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not include all the structures that make up the upper respiratory tract.
